«La malinconia allo specchio. Tre letture di Baudelaire» is the essay by Jean Starobinski, published by Garzanti in paperback (79 pages, in Italian).
Jean Starobinski proposes three readings of Charles Baudelaire's poetry centred on melancholy as an allegorical figure. The essay traverses Les Fleurs du mal and pauses on «El cisne», a poem in which the figure of the exile, linked to Victor Hugo, becomes an image of banishment.
The Italian edition is translated by Daniela De Agostini and includes a preface by Yves Bonnefoy. The work was originally published as «La Mélancolie au miroir» in 1989.
For readers of literary criticism interested in nineteenth-century French poetry and in Baudelaire's work.
